Its strange. I wasnt a big fan of the first one, found it for the most part dull and combat was just horrible. The story kept me playing through it though and kept me interested in the ME series. ME2 annoyed me by going much more Third Person Shooter and distancing itself from the RPG. Yet I find myself quite excited for Tuesday, Bioware really has crafted here if nothing else a great universe with rich and enticing back story that keeps drawing me back in. And it looks like Bioware has blended the 2 to give good combat and good RPG mechanics as well in this third, too bad its looking like ME2 is being sidelined as filler for the most part though.

On the other hand I loved DAO but hated DA2 and wont be preordering the third unless they can prove beyond a doubt that they've learned from their mistakes.
